Although it is not a natural remedy, we have utilized a
commonly-employed heart worm protocol for dogs....which have
demonstrated to yields quite effective results without inducing high
stress or complicating side effect. The protocol used was 1/4 cc (that
is one-fourth of one cc) of Injectible Ivomec for Cattle (1% solution
strength displayed on bottle label) for small dogs [ 30 lbs or
less] and 1/2 cc for dogs 35 lbs and up]. The material is administered
orally...by capsule or mixed with buttermilk or sweetmilk. Dogs accept
it without reservation. Repeated in 30 days....it should control nits
that hatch after initial dosage has passed through the animal's system.
Incidentally, this protocol has given (at least for us) control for
heartworms....equivalent, or superior to, ALL commercial heartworm
tablets/medicines-----a majority of which utilize Ivermectin (IVOMEC) as
the effective ingredient. We purchase generic Ivomectin for 29.00 for
50 cc, which yields 200 doses. An equivalent dosage of any of the
commercial products offered by Veternarians would cost about $12.00 per
single dose.
While this information is well known among many dog breeders,
fanciers and owners of working dogs...a majority of dog owners (many who
cannot afford continual heart worm protocols supplied via veternarian)
are totally unaware of this circumstance. One word of caution....for
some, unknown, reason some Collies have presented with reactions to
Ivermectin---some of them serious in nature. At least this has been
reported to us. None of OUR Collie crosses and/or Shepard-type dogs
have displayed any adverse symptoms whatever. If in doubt, just make
sure your dog is among the breeds listed as compatible for taking
Heartguard or Advantage. Actually, recent research has determined that
it was the STRENGTH of the dose of Ivermectin that was was of
consequence to Collies. The initial dosages in most commercial
preparations were considerably (4X for example) greater than requjired
for effectiveness.
Sincerely,
Brooks Bradley P.s. If you desire to research this topic
further, just call up the Google search engine and type in "Ivermectin
for Dog heartworms" and you should get a considerable amount of
information----much of it quite useful.

Hi there!
Can anyone help with a natural remedy for mites on a dog. Apparently a
little sausage dog who belongs to a breeder - she's been battling the
condition for over a year and the dog is just scratching itself into
oblivion!
Many thanks

Subject: Re: CS>CS and viruses,
Viruses are on the edge of being defined as alive. They contain dna or
rna,
and they can reproduce, which pretty well puts thm into the category of
life.
They cannot reproduce without a host, but then that is true for all
parasites,
which are alive.

OK,
My son keeps reminding me viruses are NOT alive, so how can CS be
said to *kill* them? Anybody know or have a guess at what the
mechanism is of CS disabling viruses? I notice in the personal studies
many references to CS *killing* viruses but my son insists you can't
kill something that isn't alive, so what does happen? Is this just
sloppy wording?
TIA,
paula
